Processes of sea-cliff erosion on the Oregon coast : from neotectonics to wave run-up

Creator:: Shih, Shyuer-ming
Abstract:: Sea-cliff erosion is a significant problem along the Oregon coast in that many communities have been built on terraces affected by bluff retreat. There is considerable coast-wide variability in the rates of cliff erosion. This variability is attributed in part to tectonic activity that is causing differential interseismic uplift along...

Plants, plant communities, net production and tide levels; the ecological biogeography of the Nehalem salt marshes, Tillamook County, Oregon

Creator:: Eilers, H. Peter
Abstract:: Nehalem Bay is located on the northern coast of Oregon in Tillamook County and contains approximately 243 ha of salt marsh. The Nehalem marshes occur as islands and land-tied units. West Island is the largest marsh island with an area of 82.9 ha and a maximum elevation of 3.079 m...

Vertical distribution patterns of plankton and their relationship to physical factors over the continental shelf off Oregon

Creator:: Sutor, Malinda
Abstract:: Discrete layers of phytoplankton and zooplankton were observed over the Oregon continental shelf in summer and fall of 2001 and summer 2002 using optical and acoustical technologies and a pump sampling system. Layers of phytoplankton had steep vertical gradients which were associated with gradients in density and local peaks in...

Sea urchin-kelp forest communities in marine reserves and areas of exploitation : community interactions, populations, and metapopulation analyses

Creator:: Moctezuma, Gabriela Montaño
Abstract:: Marine ecosystems can be exposed to natural and anthropogenic disturbances that can lead to ecological failures. Marine reserves have been lately suggested to protect marine populations and communities that have been affected by habitat destruction and harvest. This research evaluates the potential role of two marine reserves established in Oregon...

Sediment transport on the northern Oregon continental shelf

Creator:: Harlett, John Charles
Abstract:: The distribution of surface sediments on the northern Oregon continental shell is characterized by a nearshore sandy facies and an outer shelf muddy facies, separated by a mid-shelf zone of mixed sand and mud. Currents which have been measured at 130 centimeters above the bottom indicate that the distribution of...

Continental shelf sediments, Columbia River to Cape Blanco, Oregon

Creator:: Runge, Erwin John
Abstract:: Sediments on the inner portion of the Oregon continental shelf consist of clean, well-sorted, detrital sand. This sand has an average median diameter of 2.53Φ (. 173 mm) and is both positively and negatively skewed. Deposits with median diameters in the coarse sand and gravel classes occur at depths of...

Bacterioplankton in the Oregon upwelling system: distribution, cell-specific leucine incorporation, and diversity

Creator:: Longnecker, Krista
Abstract:: Marine bacterioplankton play an important role in global elemental cycles because they return carbon dioxide and nutrients to the biosphere as they reduce organic matter. Furthermore, marine bacterioplankton are not uniformly active, and subpopulations of the in situ community may be more or less active at any given time. Defining...
